Is lend-leased equipment returned?

Is lend-leased equipment returned or am I giving stuff away?

[Belgian Problem]

Giving it away. Don't see how/why you'd get it back TBH.

I wonder what the word "lend" means to you?

When your freind lends you his car do you just keep it?

Its called lend lease because historically, the USA ''lended money'' to the allies. they decided that britain and others didnt had to pay it back, as they would figured it all after the war. So they shipped equipement and supply for ''free'' during the war to england among others.

Couldnt of said it better. The title of lend-lease was for FDR to support the Allies while getting around a mostly isolationist congress. He was telling Congress practically yeah we're gonna get our stuff back we are only lending/leasing it to the Allies. However he had no intention of asking for returns on the goods supplied, anyways the supplies and vehicles were for war and well they would be used up or damaged because of it.

I wonder what an history book means to you... probably something to wipe the gravy off your chin

When your friend lends you a book... you should read it

The correct term really is "giving it" because you do lend lease to help both you and the party recieving it. You because you gain XP and them because they can equip more troops.

Even more so because lend lease is... well... optional? No ally can force you to give equipment.

So much salt... Its just a question like another... Yea i think you give it away, i notice i never get something back, but thought it got destroyed bcause i only give crappy stuff away ☺️

That could be an interesting focus or item to research: allies give you equipment or international donation campaign or make contact with arms manufacturer...

would be so nice when you end up 20000 rifles behind in production!

In reality the US did recieve some compensation for lend-lease (Reverse Lend-Lease and Money) but the actual equipment was largely never returned.

In the game your just giving it away because a actual historical representation for the repayment of lend lease would be a nightmare to code and would last for decades after the end of WWII.

Not really. You could simply get what's left back.

That would only really work for planes with the games current systems, since from what i have seen tanks, rifles, and artillary never need to be replaced because of damage.

And as i said in the first post its historically inaccurate.

Then please find one example of that actually happening with lend leased equipment

I am talking in turns on gameplay. This is not the "WW2 History forums" This is the "Hoi4 Forums." He asked a question about gameplay, so therefore I answered it in turns of gameplay.

So I believe my earlier statement is correct, which makes your wrong.
